Scaling out and pyramiding

Work in units of σ\sigma with the three plans of Worked example 4A.8 (fixed two-unit bracket; scale out; pyramid). (a) Verify the outcome distributions, means, variances and loss probabilities with μ=0\mu=0. (b) Compute the expected unit-days of exposure of each plan with μ=0\mu=0 and check (4A.16) for the variances. (c) With drift μ=0.1\mu=0.1, compute each plan's expectancy using Propositions 4A.6–4A.9 stage by stage.
